WGSN and Coloro have named the colors that they believe will be adopted by 2026 due to strong influences that will drive consumers. WGSN, which focuses on design trends, and Coloro, which focuses on the future of color, both say that acceleration is the overarching theme.
“As the climate crisis brings chaos and strange omens of decline such as orange skies and green oceans, we will see an acceleration of change, both good and bad. Urgency, repair and reassurance will be the new necessities in this new reality,” said Urangoo Samba, head of color for WGSN.

Prestige
Not only do plants symbolise the way of life, but they also add an aesthetic value to one’s home decor and enhance the aura of that space. While some of them are used for purely decorative purposes, others are used as feng shui plants according to the ancient traditional Chinese practice. The Chinese word ‘feng’ means wind and ‘shui’ means water and these plants signify growth and kindness which attracts the quality of nurturing with patience and compassion in the plant parent. And, to be specific, there are some plants that are actually feng shui money plants, meaning that they attract wealth along with positivity, prosperity, peace of mind, good fortune and balance in relationships.

ASID members must earn a minimum of 10 unit (10 hours) of approved continuing education (CEU) every two years. We’ve updated the instructions for CEU reporting that align with IDCEC’s new website to help you navigate the process.
ASID members are to utilize the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) registry to warehouse CEUs. Every ASID member has a unique IDCEC number to login into the website (your IDCEC number is different than your ASID number). The IDCEC user registry allows you to upload and track your continuing education activity as well as store a record under your account. Check your IDCEC account regularly to ensure your records are up to date.
Each year, ASID recognizes the exemplary achievements and outstanding service demonstrated by highly engaged members, chapters, student chapters, and industry partners through our awards and honors programs.
One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.
